Muscle Relaxer Forums (Page 27)

I've been on muscle relaxers for about 7 years, due to a neck fracture injury ending in a surgut oval nonfusion. I have chaotic pain that my pain Doctor treats with 10/325 Hyrdroco/APAP. Limit of six per day. Some days I take the maximum some days I don't depending on my activities. He substitutes my hydrocodone done with Baclofen 10 mg. his prescription says take one to two tablets by mouth three times daily as needed for muscle spasms. I rarely ever take the maximum dose. We first started out with Flexeril that worked for a little while but I needed something more. I was having severe muscle spasm's that felt like my muscles in my shoulderswere drawing up into my ears. This caused excruciating headaches. So he put me on a stronger muscle relaxer back to the van and we talk...

For your reference here is an image: So to answer your question, be sure to check the instructions on the prescription label to see how often you would need to take a 10mg dose. Hope this helps!

What are side effects? Risks of interactions with antidepressants/bi-polar meds such as Limictal and/or Klonopin and/or attention meds such as Vyvanse, dextro-amphetamine, dex, dexidrine? Ex stole my prescription and replaced those contents with Methocarbamol and Ativan. Not a horrible forced trade for me till next month when I refill and get back to my normal med blend, although she'll wish she had them when she starts coming down. Anyway, thought I could take one to relax at bedtime but don't want to cross interact and hurt myself. Note: currently not taking any attention medication because of aforementioned. Would love some feedback. Thanks! ## Hi Robert, Sorry to hear about your Ex stealing your prescription. I hope the two of you manage to get things worked out on some leve...

I was prescribed Baclofen to help with my alcoholism, ramping up to 5 per day. It made me drowsy - I literally fell asleep with a fork in my mouth. I could not walk a straight line, swerving when I tried. And my favorite - I peed the bed three times. I already can do these things when I'm drunk. ## Hello, Boz! How are you doing? It may be that you're on too high of a dose for your body. Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and dry mouth can all be normal side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA, and the higher the dosage, the more severe they would be. Have you informed your prescriber? A lower dosage might work better for you and not cause such awful side effects.

Good evening. The Dr. has had me on cyclobenzaprine 5mg LEG 3 times a day for several years. I just went to get my refill and was given cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride USP 10 mg instead of the tabs I have been taking. My RX hasn't changed so I was wondering if I had been given the wrong RX or if it is the same with the same side effects. I can take the benzapr 5mg. without any problems but am afraid of taking the benzaprine 10 mg. The Pharmacy not only gave me this RX i was not prescribed for, they put it from a totally different dr. that has been giving my prescriptions for benzapr. PLEASE tell me what to do...? Thank you so much for your time. ## Hello, Tawnya! How are you? Benzaprine and Cyclobenzaprine are the same medication, Benzaprine is just a name brand for Cyclobenzaprine, s...

Had miniscal knee Surgery June 11. Does a muscle relaxer help reduce swelling? It is swelled from knee to ankle. ## Hello, Shirley! How are you?

It's a white round pill with u 159 on it and I want to know what kind of medicine is in it ## Hi Sally, Is there any chance that your pill might say U 169 as opposed to U 159? Reason I ask is because the round white pill I found has U 169 on it and reportedly contains 4mgs of Tizanidine hydrochloride; used as a muscle relaxer. For verification, the pill itself is manufactured by Unichem Pharma based out of the US. Please post back if you have any additional information regarding that finding.
